This week’s featured job is a Global Safety Coordinator for International Studies and Programs (job posting 930036). International Studies and Programs (ISP) is the hub for international research, teaching, and outreach at Michigan State University. 

In this position, you will serve as a member of the Office for Global Health, Safety and Security and support operational management of international health and safety matters. In collaboration with both the Director and Senior Coordinator of Global Health, Safety and Security, you will oversee office management, analysis, travel preparedness and plan response strategies to promote and protect the well-being of MSU travelers. 

You will share 24/7 coverage for international emergencies and the main telephone number/email address for Global Safety. This includes monitoring international incidents or worldwide events that may affect MSU travelers abroad. You will develop plans and guidelines to provide clear safety protocols while supporting department communication efforts through website updates, email newsletters, and university-wide communications. 

Occasional domestic and international travel will be required for conferences/training or site assessments. This is a hybrid position with the expectation that you will work on campus three days a week and remote for two.
